My Portfolio
Engineering, Innovation, and Growth.
I’m Nelson Akalia, a Computer Science graduate from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria, and a passionate software engineer with a lifelong curiosity for building things that work—and scale.
I started coding at a young age, driven by a deep interest in how software can solve real-world problems. What began as curiosity quickly grew into a passion for innovation, system design, and creating tools that make life easier for individuals and businesses.
Today, I work as a Full-Stack Developer, Automation Engineer, and Project Manager, helping startups and teams design, build, and scale production-ready applications. I enjoy working across the entire stack—from frontend experiences to backend systems, databases, automations, and infrastructure.
Beyond coding, I bring structure and clarity to projects through formal project management training, ensuring that ideas move efficiently from concept to delivery. I value clean architecture, maintainable code, and systems built for long-term growth.
I’m constantly learning, experimenting, and improving—always focused on building solutions that are practical, scalable, and impactful.

Featured Projects
Automated Marketing Agency
The client was overwhelmed by the need to constantly create, format, and post content across multiple social platforms, leading to inconsistency and lost engagement opportunities.
I solved this by building a sophisticated n8n workflow that serves as a 24/7 marketing team. The system autonomously generates content ideas, uses AI to write platform-specific copy, creates visual assets, and schedules posts. It monitors performance and adjusts strategies automatically, ensuring a consistent and high-quality brand presence without manual intervention.
AI Video Influencer
The client needed a scalable way to produce personal, engaging video content without the logistical overhead of filming, lighting, and acting talent.
I developed a fully synthetic AI video influencer. This system leverages advanced generative video and audio models to produce lifelike video content. It can react to trends, reply to comments, and maintain a consistent personality, effectively serving as an always-on brand ambassador.
